Anyone use this stuff? Does it use diminishing abrasives? What does it compare to in terms of aggressiveness?

I use it quite a bit and find it very similar to 3M Ultrafina. Has almost no cut, a good working time, no dusting, and leaves an outstanding finish.

Can Ultrafina be used with a Flex 3401? If so, what would be the best pad choice?

I'll throw my .02 in here .........

use with a red or black pad. Yes, this polish can be used with a Flex.

If I use it with a black pad, what speed?

It has enough cut to remove 2500 grit sanding marks so it's very fine .......

Ultrafine is only recommended to be used with rotary buffers.... but the Menz 85rd can be used both by DA and rotary.

I've used Ultrafina, Optimum Finish, and PO85RD with the Flex 3401 without issue. I start at speed 6 and make 2-3 section passes, then continue on speed 5 with minimal pressure and work the hell out of it (applies to all polishes mentioned).
